Gingrich: the most dangerous thing, which by the way Obama just did...

In fact, you don't even have to say what it is. Whatever Obama just did is the most dangerous thing Gingrich can think of.

 

[Salt Jones]

But running the Lincoln through the straights of Harmuz is weak?

These guys are clueless.

 

[Avorysuds]

Very different debate when it's not about getting an applause... All of a sudden stupid answer sound.... stupid.

 

[rdean]

The guy who got Bin Laden is "soft".

From the people who let Bin Laden go.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Shut up Mitt..........................you are not a military expert and nobody is buying your line of bull.

Ron Paul just shot himself by saying we have made an act of war.

Stupid answers sounded stupid with the applause.

I will never understand why Newt was getting Standing Ovations for some of his stupid answers in SC. Some of them werent even coherent.

 

[Avorysuds]

Ron Paul just shot himself by saying we have made an act of war.

Yup, sad it's true tho.... Instead he should call Obama a Muslim and claim he is the most dangerous man in America. What that has to do with the question no one knows but it gets votes!!!!

No, instead we have liberals on stage claiming we need a war with Cuba and Iran… Tonight, in this very debate.

Avatar, good luck with your foreign policy that we just can’t seem to afford. Maybe when they start WW3 you will figure it out that pre emptive war is un affordable bullshit.

Ron Paul just shot himself by saying we have made an act of war.

Perhaps a bit hyperbolic, but he is right. This whole straight of Hormuz is a reactionary stance by Iran to our increased sanctions.

Plus, it won't change much. The people who want war and an aggressive foreign policy will vote for the another candidate.

Newt, in his answer on Medicaid Part D, in rejoinder to the plodding whining effort of Mitt, scored heavy.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

By far the best because Brian Williams is really good AND they're not tripping over each other for applause. Previous "debates" were not debates at all.

First thing Newt said was that he is still in favor of tinkly down voodoo (non-)economics. Still hasn't learned how incredibly harmful that was and still is. Also interesting that Newt seems scared to actually answer Mittens accusations. But, Mitt is still an attack goldfish.

Everybody but Paul wants to make war. They don't seem to care who they make war on just as long as they get to play with the big boy's toys.

 

[rdean]

It's difficult watching ideologically driven right wing plutocrats debate foreign policy.

So much of what they say is simply stupid. The rest idiotic.

They think so little of American lives.

Let him die.

Feed them and they'll breed.

Bomb Iran.

Send more young poor kids to war.

No. It's not true.

Quote from Iran a few weeks ago:

Several weeks ago, as the USS John Stennis left the Persian Gulf and headed back to the western Pacific, Iranian officials warned the United States not to send in another carrier.
"We have always stated that there is no need for the forces belonging to the countries beyond this region to have a presence in the Persian Gulf," Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said in early January, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency. "Their presence does nothing but create mayhem, and we never wanted them to be present in the Persian Gulf."

After Iran threat, U.S. aircraft carrier goes through Strait of Hormuz without incident - CNN.com

And, its an effect smokescreen for the haters. They don't have to think or pay attention to facts.

Santorum:

It is not OK for Iran to pursue nuclear weapons.

Has he proposed disarmament in general?

 

[rdean]

Now they are threatening America with Iran. Didn't that happen with Iraq? Will America fall for it again?

 

[Toro]

Santorum said the recession is because of high oil prices.

Dumbass.

 

[ladyliberal]

Santorum just suggested that BP was good for Florida's tourism industry.
